I'm sick and tired of catching flak for other people's actions.
Just because I'm timid doesn't mean I have more power over other people,
it only signifies a level of discipline attained within myself.

I am tired of being lectured on behalf of others and their indiscretions;
they are not my mistakes to reconcile.
I am tired of being a middleman for the melodrama
of my fellow spoiled Americans.

I've tried to mitigate, but it only agitates both sides
so I say "**** it. They're your issues now."
I hope you made good use of my efforts,
because now they shall no longer be imparted in this regard.

My patience has been abused and worn thin;
not just by others, but also by myself.
